John Carroll on Free Trade

America should be a leader in international commerce

Q: What should America's role in the world be?

A: America should be a leader in international commerce. This can only be achieved by creating a climate where doing business in the
US makes better sense than doing business elsewhere. Eliminating restrictions such as the Jones Act, and the burdens of excessive regulation and taxation will be at the top of my list of to make this possible.
